The Committee will expect the following information: the purpose of the presentation,
the clinical content, the presentation format and 4 course objectives. Presentations

CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT
All prospective presenters whose clinical presentations are accepted for the meeting will be entitled to complimentary conference registration (up to two presenters per presentation

All clinical presentation presenters will be required to be present in Manchester on the evening Wednesday or Thursday (May 27/28, 2009) to ensure that their clinical
presentation is set up.
